Exploring the Use of Augmented Reality in Art Education

Thesis Abstract

Abstract
This thesis explores the potential impact of augmented reality (AR) technology on art education. The integration of AR into art education has the potential to revolutionize traditional teaching methods and provide new opportunities for engaging students in innovative ways. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of incorporating AR technology in art education, with a focus on enhancing student learning experiences and outcomes. The research will include a comprehensive literature review on the current state of AR in education, as well as an exploration of its application specifically within the context of art education. The study will also address the challenges and limitations associated with the implementation of AR technology in the classroom, considering factors such as access to technology, teacher training, and curriculum integration. By examining these issues, the research aims to provide practical recommendations for educators looking to incorporate AR into their art teaching practices. A mixed-methods research approach will be employed, combining both quantitative and qualitative data collection methods. Surveys and interviews will be conducted with art educators and students to gather insights on their experiences with AR technology in the classroom. Additionally, student performance and engagement will be assessed through pre- and post-intervention measures to evaluate the impact of AR on learning outcomes. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to the existing body of knowledge on the use of AR in education, with a specific focus on its application in art education. By exploring the potential benefits and challenges of integrating AR technology into art teaching practices, this research aims to provide valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and researchers seeking to enhance the quality of art education through innovative technological solutions. Overall, this thesis seeks to shed light on the transformative potential of augmented reality in art education and to provide a foundation for further research and development in this exciting and rapidly evolving field.
